General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

As a physician I would like to tell you that apart from antibiotic Rifampin (given in TB patients), it is safe to take antibiotics with OC Pills. Also, as you have mentioned you have taken Plan-B as well as your regular OC pills.

Thus, I would like to say that it reduces your chances of getting pregnant next to none. I would also like to tell you that you should talk first to a physician before taking Plan b in addition to OC Pills in future.

Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question. Have a nice day.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
